Year of the Ox — 2009

Although there are a few more 2008 covers (most notably "Take Me Out to the Ball Game" and Great Lakes Dunes) to close out that year, it is now time to begin offering my hand painted cachets for this year. The Year of thye Ox is only the second in this once-a-year series which began last year with the ret, A sturdy ox with brass bell around its neck peers out from a brightly colored floral confluence of chrysanthemums. The brilliant watercolored blooms bring a nice oriental flavor to this cachet. A lovely First Day Cover— The Year of the Ox. Collins #W4501 —$14.00.
